My Early 2015 MacBook just boots to the flashing folder and the internal SSD is missing from the boot menu and cannot be found in Disk Utility when I boot to an external Mac OS installer. Have tried resetting the SMC and PRAM and nothing changes.
Sadly, your systems built-in SSD has failed. Did you have a liquid spill or sit your system down on a wet surface? Did you drop or bang your system? If both are no, I would visit an Apple Store and ask them why the SSD failed as it shouldn’t have within less than 3 years! While they may tell you is not covered under warranty, I would push a bit. Do keep in mind the cost of replacing the logic board is quite high and you may want to consider getting a different system.
In theory the drive should be viewable in the recovery partition however try clicking on ‘view’ and show ‘all devices’ then quit and re-open disk Util and see whether the drive is viewable
